During a visit to Paris you’ll never have the opportunity to see everything. You’ll just have to come back.
Bordeaux is the hub of the famed French wine growing region, but it’s not all vineyards. It’s pedestrianised boulevards, restored neoclassical architecture, high-tech public transport system and reclaimed former industrial wet docks at Bassin à Flots make Bordeaux among France’s most exciting and vibrant cities. Half the city (18 sq km) is Unesco-listed, making it the largest urban World Heritage site; while in contrast, world-class architects have designed a bevy of striking new buildings. Bordeaux has barista-run coffee shops, super-food food trucks, an exceptional dining scene and more fine wine than you could ever possibly drink. Sounds perfect to us!
